Description

This unit will develop techniques for batting in cricket whilst bringing in statistical analysis to help with decision making. Fielding skills will be refined before overarm bowling is refined to enable games of pairs cricket.

Pupils will already have explored the core skills of batting, blowing and fielding in an attempt to score or deny runs. The drive and pull shots will enable pupils to place the ball in different areas of the field before testing confidence, mental capacity and appetite for risk through small sided scoring and officiating games. Later in striking and fielding games pupils will play and officiate their own small sided team games of cricket and continue to develop their ability to analyse performances.
